I would say their first pick is to early for him because he would not contribute right away, but he will not fall to the 3rd.
His best assest is his out of this world closing speed. He does show glimpses of a quick get-off but only glimpses, nothing consistant. His rushing is predicated much more on power than on finesse as he does not have the necessary flexibility to bend the edge, but he does move well in space. He also lined up all over the place at BYU from nose tackle to OLB most likely another reason his pass rushing is based on power. His base and footwork is absolutely a mess and he does not really have any moves to speak of. He has very strong hands and an upper body, but his lower body could use some work. He will need very good and patient coaching but obviously the potential is there._________________

its both...it means he can be putty and the coaches can model him into the best player possible for the system or he knows nothing and has no kind of a solid football foundation to build on_________________

Not mentally tough... yes there are exceptions Steve Young, Dennis Pitta, Todd Heap, but there is a huge cultural gap from that school, above all others, to the life in the NFL.

Well for being somebody who wasn't mentally tough, ziggy sure handled the pressures of the week of practices and the game to be considered one of the top prospects at mobile. He had 7 tackles, 3.5 tfl, 1.5 sacks, 1 ff, and 1 pd. he didn't even play the whole game. Watching some BYU tape, he played both de and dt at times for them. He did not play back in coverage a ton, so I would be curious to see what he would be able to do as a 3-4 OLB._________________Adopt A Brown 2016:
